A-8 C. OF C. OPPOSES MANY BIG BILLS President Supported Only on Wage Stand in Work- Relief. By the Associated Press. Business, as represented by commit- tees of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, yesterday registered strong opposition to a big batch of the administration’s major legislative proposals. The committee reports, made public by the chamber's board of directors at an executive meeting, included at- | tacks on the work-relief program, a | warning about the pending omnibus banking bill, and the suggestion that | the security program be developed | more slowly. The President, however, was sup- ported on one major point in the work-relief bill Wage Amendment Opposed. i The chamber’s Relief Committee op- posed the McCarran wage amend- ments, but at the same time recom- mended that initiation and execution of relief projects be left with States and localities. The administration bill gives the Government full authority. ‘The committee resolutions comprise the most comprehensive statement by representatives of the Nation's busi- ness since the White Sulphur Springs Conference, which was attended by around 100 major business executives. ‘That conference originally was de- scribed as the beginning of business- government co-operation, but the con- ference platform, like the statements yesterday, varied in many particulars from the President’s program. The Relief Committee proposed a cut in the $4,880,000,000 fund to $2,- 000,000,000. The committee contend- ed the primary consideration in select- ing projects should be their utility and economic usefulness and that the emphasis should be shifted from relief. “Centralization of financing and ad- ministrative responsibility for unem- ployment relief in the form of a relief-public works program seems to run counter to the President's state- ment that, ‘the Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief,” ™ Cotton Export Protection. A special committee on cotton said that although the situation surround- ing the staple had been helped in the past, there should be a reduction in loan values set on cotton in order to Pprotect cotton exports. said the committee. The board of directors itself fssued | the warning on the pending banking bill. It made no specific criticisms, but said business and industry “must insist” on a thorough consideration, and stressed the necessity of safe- guards to prevent ‘“political domina- tion.” The measure would further centralize authority over the banking system. A committee on security said the proposed bill does not adequately pro- tect voluntary plans already set up by business, and advocated that em- ployes pay toward the reserve. The group warned against cxcessive piling up of reserves, and advised that the States be given more freedom to set up their own plans. MAJ. L. H. VANDOREN GETS SPECIAL POST Ordered to Qualify for Duty With Marine Corps Selective Service Board. Maj. Luclan H. Vandoren, U. S. M. C., Reserve, prominent Washington attorney and chairman of the District Boxing Commission, was notified yes-; terday by Maj. Gen. John H.

Passage of the Copeland food and drug bill was urged at a hearing be- fore the Senate Commerce Committee yesterday by Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin, first vice president and legislative chairman of the National League of ‘Women Voters. She termed the bill a5 “the most promising piece of legis- 1ation in sight for the consumer.” Mrs. Baldwin said the Copeland bill was a “great step in advance” of the present food and drug act because “it includes jurisdiction over adver- tising of foods, drugs and cosmetics and protects consumers from adulter- ated and misbranded cosmetics.” MASS MEETING IS SET Bession Will Consider Night Classes at Western High.
